To all whom it may concern.

' Be it known thatI, JAMES M. Bsmnxonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at (.arthage, in the county of'Jefi'erson and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Registering Pulp-Blocks, &c.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, I

This invention relates to new and useful improvements counting devices for attachment to pulp block conveyers, the obled in viewbeing to provide an automati' cally opertit'ed apparatus for registering not only the number of 'blocks'which are con 'veyed, but also register blocksofdifierent diameters.

The invention relates to rarious details of construction and combination of parts as instance, if the block passmg IS '01; the mine mum diameter of blocks which are t1t1(lrzed,;

' Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter A designates the frame of a conveyer, preferably slightly trough shaped, andin'which the usual endless conveyer chain B travels. Fixed to said' frame are the' bearing members C holdlug-the pivotal pins D which receive the llCtll'li'Q' members I) secured each to a plate or win.- F.

I Positioned on a projection Q of the frame, i are the series of registering devices, ar- {ranged in two ,rows, and each register is j provided with a trip 0, and each is adapted i to count the blocks of a distinct diameter, while a single register makes a registration of the total number of blocks which pass the plates or wings. F astened to one of the plates, is a "bracket member P, which as the incident to the passing of a block, contacts I with one or another'of said trips, according to the diameter of the blocl; passing. 1 For extreme-outer ends ot'j theyse' rieswould, it will be noted register the blocks of the greaest diameters.
